I'll start sending PMs to anyone I can find tomorrow, there was an article in the Trib today that asked a bunch of riders (Harleys for the most part, but not everyone is perfect) what their favorite roads were. I've been looking a bit, if we can find one that parallels a river we'd be well off.

On second thought, lets just make this a meeting and drop the part about trying to find a good road. It seems like all of us are too new to know of any around here, and it adds an extra kink. Lets try to find a small forest preserve with a barbeque and meet up there for a couple hours or so, and get to know each other. How does that sound?

I'm in Chicago.  Not gonna have my bike back from the shop for a coupla weeks, but please keep me in the loop if you can... I'd like to join in when I get back in the saddle.

Could give Busse Woods in Shaumburg a shot? Its easy to access. But... may be a bit hard if ur not comfortable with highway riding.

Busse woods would work well. I don't exactly remember them but I recall the name, which is a good thing. I think it would probably work out well.

My bad news is that it seems my parents have scheduled a vacation for that weekend, which ties up the rest of my weekends for the fall. If anyone is done working before that maybe we could have another, smaller meeting during the week? Sorry I just found out about that, I was getting pretty excited. 

Interesting.  I attend this honda civic forum and last year, i went to BUsse woods for a civic meet.  We bbq'd and just hung out for a bit

Was it a Honda-Tech meet? I am usually in attendance for those... actually I usually organize them and bring the grill. BTW Ed I'll be down @ UofI this weekend.

Unnamed,
PM me for a lil weekday cruise.

fall would be great too i dont have school anymore so i m good lol. if anyone is in the city let me know northsider here

So would anyone be up for a ride late next week, maybe thursday or friday? Or even just meeting up somewhere for lunch? It'll probably be easier to organize things later if we know each other a bit. Drew I'll send you a PM after I get my license... should be about tuesday.

Yeah, I'm down p.m. me.

Nah, I mostly frequent 7thgencivic.com, I haven't really done much at all to the car, i just hang out on the forums

sweet, i m in hopefully my title gets here on time *sigh long story.  anyway, lets do it

Sorry my last message was kinda vague, I was in Arizona for the weekend and just got home Monday night. If people are up, how about a meeting for lunch somewhere on thursday or friday? I'll send PMs tomorrow and include my phone number, anyone got a favorite place to eat?

friday sounds good to me uhh depends on what you feel like eating lol. 

Depends on time, I'd be up for trying to grill at Busse but if other people have less time we could meet somewhere in the suburbs. Maybe somewhere near Oak Park, I know Drew is nearby and its not too far from the North Side, maybe 45 from Evanston? Or, if you've got other ideas, I'd be down for going a little farther.

...And I'm f%$king things up again. Turns out I'm leaving for vacation early on friday, so I can't make that. I'm gone for a week, then that weekend is my Ridercourse. Starting August 13 I'm gonna be available again, would anyone be up for a lunch that week?

On the upside, I went to the DMV today and passed my written and skills test, so I've finally got my license!

someone just PM me or call me this weekend for some riding

708.288.4043

Call me for some riding/car cruising/general non-homosexual good time. 

Well f%$k me, I went and wrecked my bike. I'd be up for a meeting this week, but I'm definitely not riding there. If anyone wants to meet up for lunch somewhere thats cool.

how'd u wreck your bike?

I posted about it... the title is 40 MPH Lowside... which is basically it. I was going around a blind corner, it tightened up on me, and I hit a patch of gravel. Trashed the front end... sucks. Hopefully it'll be up and running soon. Since I'm at school I won't be able to get together for a meeting until next summer, but I'm gonna try to start planning something then.
